Art:December Doodles 2015
The December Doodles is an event formerly run by Apollo. In 2012, the format changed from daily weekday events to twice-weekly due to time constraints; this format was continued in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
December and January (not) Daily Doodles 2015 [1] is the eleventh annual December Doodles event. It was hosted by Hera and Clotho, with one January Doodle hosted by Nemesis.
As in 2012 and 2013, Shiny Sun Points were awarded as additional prizes.
